K-ClinicUlthera vs Thermage in Korea: BIOFACE 300-Shot Price Gap
At BIOFACE clinic in Seoul, Ulthera works on the SMAS (fascia) layer and suits a sagging contour, while Thermage heats the dermis to stimulate collagen and improve laxity and skin texture. Their 300-shot prices are close: Ulthera Prime is ₩1,435,500 before VAT (₩1,579,050 with 10% VAT) and Thermage FLX is ₩1,515,250 before VAT (₩1,666,775 with VAT), a gap of ₩87,725. The doctor recommends which one suits you after an examination.
Ulthera vs Thermage: they treat different layers
At BIOFACE clinic, Ulthera works on the SMAS (fascia) layer and Thermage heats the dermis. Both are lifting treatments, but they target different depths.
According to the clinic, Ulthera suits a sagging contour, while Thermage stimulates collagen and improves laxity and skin texture. So the choice depends on whether your concern is a contour that is dropping, or skin that feels loose with poor texture.
300 shots with VAT: Thermage costs ₩87,725 more
The price list shows prices before tax, and 10% VAT is added at checkout:
Ulthera Prime 300 shots: ₩1,435,500 × 1.1 = ₩1,579,050.
Thermage FLX 300 shots: ₩1,515,250 × 1.1 = ₩1,666,775.
The gap is ₩79,750 before VAT and ₩87,725 with VAT. The prices are close, so your condition, not the price, should decide. Prices are valid until 31 Dec 2026, and promotions cannot be combined.
Only Ulthera has a 100-shot price
The price list also shows Ulthera Prime at 100 shots: ₩507,500 before VAT, ₩558,250 with VAT. Thermage FLX is listed only at 300 shots; ask during the consultation whether other numbers of shots are possible.
How to choose: describe your concern first, not the device
Rather than agonizing between two devices, describe your concern to the doctor in detail. K-Clinic suggests describing first and not naming a device:
- If the jawline or the lines around the mouth are dropping and the contour bothers you, ask the doctor how well Ulthera suits you.
- If your skin feels loose or the texture bothers you, ask the doctor how well Thermage suits you.
- If both bother you, the price list has a combo of 300 shots each; the doctor decides whether you need both.
